Suggestion: Taxi ETA display

Before Blizzard essentially integrated the questing waypoint concept, I used Questhelper for that function. Now that I have NUI and with the changes Blizzard has made over the last year, there is only one function of questhelper that I truely miss.

Any time I took a taxi ride it would display the name of my final destination and how long it would take me to get there. This allowed me to time my AFK's so that myself and others wouldn't be waiting for several minutes while I was en route. Since your already on a taxi, I think it would be quite convienient to use one of your mid-screen displays like the totem/rune display, if you didnt want to make a new text box for it.

... and theres also the Carbonite feature that showed you in "xxx%" format how fast you were actually traveling, even while on a taxi, LOL.

I love your work. You are a talented artist and the beauty of your labour is not lost on this factory worker. Using NUI cut my addon count in half or more, something my pc and I really appreciate.

I'm going to guess that this is a tad outside the scope of nUI. Maybe not, idk. If it is though, you can get just this functionality with FlightMap.

I appreciate the kind words.

Unfortunately, the flight times thing is something outside the scope of nUI. It's more of a data/database thing than a user interface thing. And, quite honestly, I have pretty actively avoided dragging database stuff into nUI as that's the thing the both breaks the fastest and requires the most maintenance over time.

InFlight (http://www.wowinterface.com/download...-InFlight.html), iirc, builds it own database and/or updates automatically, so new or changed flightpaths should not be a problem.

Anyway, just a "for what it's worth". I dont think any mod similar to these wouldn't work with nUI.
